Tenby International School - Penang

Taught in English, at Key Stages 1 and 2 (early years and primary) in primary school, the programme is designed to help students achieve high standards in English literacy, mathematics, science and humanities while giving them opportunities to grow skills in art and technology. A creative, thematic, child-centred approach with rigorous assessment is used to ensure a child is not only enjoying their schooling but also reaching the highest possible standards. External assessment by CIE is administered through Checkpoint tests at the end of primary education.

At Key Stages 3 and 4, the English National Curriculum (UK) is implemented between Years 7 and 9, whereby students are exposed to an all-around learning process that covers subjects from English, foreign languages, history and geography to mathematics, sciences, ICT and P.E. At the end of Year 9, they will be taking the Cambridge Checkpoint tests for English, mathematics and sciences.

Finally, in Years 10 and 11 the IGCSE is taught and students will get to further their knowledge in the languages, mathematics, sciences, arts and humanities, social sciences, business, technical and vocational skills, to name a few. Examination will take place at the end of the programme to assess students’ progresses.
